<p>Praise God and to him alone belongs all the glory!!</p>



<p>It is such a joy to witness lives being transformed right before our eyes, simply because we chose to obey a prompting from the Holy Spirit—even in the midst of minimal resources. Today, we successfully completed the Book of 1 Timothy in our leadership class in Gbarnga, Bong County. What fills my heart with even greater joy is the visible transformation in the lives of these church leaders.</p>



<p>As Jesus said, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men” (Luke 5). Sometimes, all that is required of us is simple obedience to His leading, and then we stand in awe of what He is able to do with the ordinary.</p>



<p>We remain deeply grateful for your support—whether through your encouraging words, your prayers offered in secret, or the resources you have shared. Every act, no matter how small it may seem, has helped us reach this important milestone. Thank you plenty, as we say here in Liberia.</p>



<p>Please keep us in your prayers as early next week we travel to Freetown for another mission trip. Our goal is to equip the leadership of the Kingdom Empowerment Center, whose Lead Shepherd has requested training for his pastors and church leaders. We are trusting God for an impactful time of impartation, as delegations from across the provinces of the Republic of Sierra Leone are expected to be present.</p>



<p>Thank you once again for standing with us.</p>



<p>God bless you.</p>

<p>I am an architect and a builder. I run a design/build firm, and I know that you need the right tools to finish a job. For me, that means a dependable pickup truck. It’s essential equipment, just like my hammer or my laptop. Without it, I can’t haul materials or get my crew to the job site.</p>



<p>I have known Moses for a while now, and I’m deeply impressed by his mission. He’s doing incredible work, and just like me, he needs his tools. For Moses in Liberia, his 4&#215;4 truck is his most vital instrument. <strong>A friend of the ministry was able to work with our contacts to send him the truck in 2022.</strong> It is a tool for the Gospel, allowing him to reach people across all the remote corners of rural Liberia.</p>



<p>The Scriptures say, &#8220;How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!&#8221; (Romans 10:15). But to get there, Moses needs his vehicle working. As you can see in the photo above, Moses’ feet aren’t very beautiful. They are dirty with mud! <br>The 4&#215;4 system is broken. Just the other day, he was stranded in heavy mud and rain. He needs his transportation back so he can keep serving.</p>



<p>The total cost to repair this essential pickup and get him back on the road is <strong>$2,200</strong>. Please join me in supporting this need. Let’s make sure Moses has the dependable tools he needs to keep doing the work we admire. Please use the form below and comment &#8220;Truck Repairs&#8221; to help keep Moses&#8217; feet beautiful!</p>
